The instrument has the size of 1/6 to 1/7 of a regular-size cello. It is a faithful reproduction composed of all essential parts of a full-size cello; it is built of identical materials and executed in the same technology. The surface, including the brown varnish, is distressed to give the impression of an antique instrument.
